Nose opens up after about 30 minutes with bright red florals, a hint of mineral, eucalyptus, leather, and spice (cumin & mustard stand out). Restrained at first, eventually a mid-weight palate with moderate acidity and a polished silky mouthfeel develops. Very good today, probably best within the next decade or so.

Just a lovely wine. Complex nose, with strawberry, rose, a touch of cocoa, loads of Gevrey earth and funk followed by a lovely floral perfume on the back end. On the palate, great acidity, but also excellent depth. Amazing this is a 13! Finely grained tannin on the finish. A gorgeous bottle of PN.

Ruby wine beginning to tile around the edges. Red fruits, some fine spices, quite sharp acidity. It is quite silky, easy to drink (both alone and with a duck breast). Not a very dense wine, went the elegant road. Interesting bottle but a bit pricey to my taste (still better than most Burgundy).

Mid-weight in every respect (restrained, even?), nice today and on the plateau of maturity. Not showy but quiet and meditative..
